i've always thought our all time scores should be displayed, and i've always thought we should have a -1 option.
i dont know about restricting new users though, yes i noticed the negative nellies who would fly by after a loss. like you said joe they kind of come and go and we shouldnt punish somebody who's new to the site because of what they might say. we rarely get flat out trolls.
even if i disagree with something someone says they normally have a coherent argument and whether i agree or not we're all hokies right? if i disagree strongly enough i'll argue back, if i'm not that worried about it i'll just ignore them. nbd
This is great. I wonder if I can get more turkey legs from one comment than UVA had fans at their spring game
I suppose it was right under all the posts the whole time. I feel foolish
I'm pretty sure it starts at your current level.
Joe, are you going to reset the turkey leg counters now that there is a new system, or just use current levels as a starting point? I haven't been over to the big board to check.
But we really need to win this tournament right? To improve our NCAA resume? But even if we do run the table, they probably won't rank us unless we beat UMD
Great work as always, guys!
And the +/- system is perfect for this site. Commence operation plus-storm!
All the +1s and restricted use reminds me of the Deadspin commentariat before Kinja, when starred commenters got all the attention. The way I just said that sounds kind of negative, but I wouldn't be opposed to it at all. It helps keep reader generated content at a high level, and doesn't give a soapbox to trolls. My only concern would be setting the turkey leg threshold too higher, but 20-25 seems reasonable. A couple weeks of quality discussion could net someone 20 legs easily once the system catches on.
But how would people feel about a mobile app? I'm not necessarily signing myself up for developing it if someone else has already started or has a greater desire to do it, but I would have no problem giving it a shot and coming up with something. It wouldn't be some basic amateur stuff though. It would have to be quality, giving a similar interface to the online site, but allowing easier commenting and tracking from a mobile device. Either an app or a mobile version of the site would work really. Thoughts?
He was also on the from page of the New York Post. Not bad for a rookie.
I'm still waiting on the ability to cash these turkey legs in for real turkey legs in Lane..
Kidding aside, great work, Joe. It's always fun to see new features added to the site. Hopefully the downvotes don't get out of hand. I love the positive attitude of everyone here, so hopefully that continues and the "-1" button only gets used against obviously negative posts.
It's not an easy schedule. We have Bradley in Vegas who recently played Michigan tough. If we win that then we'll probably play a good Colorado State team in the finals. BYU will be a tough place to play. I think we can run the table, but I can see us losing one somewhere.
Great idea. That's what I thought the +1 system was for when I first signed on the site.
Also, I like the idea of restricting use... The lurkers that will just register and wait to badmouth the Hokies after a bad game need to be weeded out... It's thoughtless and wrong.
The competition isn't really that tough coming up, is it? Can't we run the table up to the Maryland game?

After reading more about Todd Washington, seems very impressive and has made his way up the coaching ranks very quickly, not to mention he's an NFL veteran with a ring (that would help in recruiting). If Harbaugh would hire him after his limited coaching experience, it's probably safe to say that he's impressive:
Washington resigned from the Toreros' program in early 2010 to become the offensive line coach for the Hartford Colonials of the United Football League.[4] In Hartford he worked for head coach Chris Palmer, who was the offensive coordinator during his tenure with the Houston Texans. The coaching staff also included former Texans teammate Dave Ragone. Hartford ranked No. 1 in total offense and No. 1 in rushing yards. Following the 2010 UFL season, four of his linemen signed contracts with NFL teams: Jacob Bender (Carolina Panthers), Colin Brown (Buffalo Bills), Pete Clifford (New York Jets), and Isaac Sowells (Detroit Lions).
Rumors swirling that Baltimore Ravens will shake up their coaching staff....hopefully there's an OL coach opening at VT for someone!
He runs too fast to look good in GIF form.
